Again I feel ripped off by the author advertising his books! I cant tell you how disappointed my grandchildren were with this book. Total let down from the story AND the pictures that were supposed to have been so great. Dont waste your money on this one.
I agree with the previous reviewer about the ALL CAPS... I thought the text was a little overpowering (and boring... the typeface, not the storyline). At a couple spots, with words like "HUGE" and "tiny" I thought the text could have changed up to illustrate those types of words and just make it look a little more interesting. I thought the cartoon images were really cute, but it was a little strange to alternate between such cute cartoons to the more realistic "photo" type images. As with ANY dinosour book, I do always struggle over the names (even with pronunciation help).
Illustrations are super and it is nice to have pronunciation help. The basic dinosaurs are covered, but there isn't much substance to the information given. Would like to see this book 'beefed up' to be more informative and satisfy my older grandkids as well as the younger ones.
This ebook begins with a picture of a blue denim pocket and three colorful little dinosaurs jumping from the pocket. Wouldn't kids love to have a pocket like this?These three dinosaurs teach the reader about the real-live dinosaurs that once roamed the world. Readers will learn what the dinosaurs looked like from realistic 3D illustrations.Kids will love a computer-generated illustration of a T-Rex hovering over a frightened boy. The author then shows the difference between the way the dinosaur looked in real life and how the same animal looks as a skeleton in a museum.The ebook lists ten links to online dinosaur resources that are appropriate for children. Kids can use these resources to learn more about dinosaurs and view dinosaur exhibits.This 31-page ebook will educate and entertain young readers. I really enjoyed the contrast between the cartoon-like dinosaurs that narrate the story and the realistic 3D pictures of dinosaurs.This book is a good mix of fiction and non-fiction. The little dinosaurs in the pocket appear throughout the book and add a light touch to the facts presented in the text.I found this book to be a very good fit for the Kindle. The pictures are large and dramatic. This book is a very pleasing visual experience on the ereader.I recommend this book to all kids who love dinosaur books (I think that would include almost ALL kids.) This ebook is great for reading aloud or independent reading. It will inspire older readers to investigate and research the information presented in this book
Recently had great luck with indie children's books. My kids absolute favorite right now is Pirates Stole My Booty (A Silly Pirates Picture Book) (Silly Picture Books). Pirates and dinos being big at our house right now. "A Pocketful of Dinosaurs" isn't nearly as fun as the pirates book. The dino names are difficult to read, even with the pronunciations included, and the story for some reason is WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS MAKING IT HARD TO READ WITHOUT SEEMING LIKE SOMEONE IS SHOUTING AT YOU.Other than that, I thought it was a cute story with a few scary moments. More appropriate for my 1st grader than the youngest especially as it gets some into the science of why dinos disappeared. I look forward to reading other books by Scott Gordon, who may become a favorite like Robert Stanek
Most young children love dinosaurs and I can't wait to share this book with my grandson! The pictures are wonderful and adults will be able to easily read the dinosaurs' names since the phonetic spelling is included. I love the links to web sites at the end of the story provided so children could continue to explore after finishing the book.
This is a fantastic book to teach kids about dinosaurs. My daughter loves the computer images and is amused by the cartoon dinos in the pocket. She has read the book numerous times, and it is definitely a book that will stay on my Kindle.
This book had little to no information. My daughter loves anything dinosaur, and even she was bored with this book. I deleted it before I even finished. I didn't want to waste the space on my iPad.
